Is rent collected in advance taxable in the year collected?
As a general rule, advance rent is considered taxable income to you in the year you receive it from the tenant. This is true even if the advance payment isn't mentioned in the lease agreement. For example, if in December 2010 your tenant pays the first six months of 2011's rent, you must report the advance payment as income on your 2010 return.

What are examples of income received in advance?
a good example would be rent income that has been received in advance another example would be membership fees etc... thr income received in advance is seen as a liability because it is money that does not correlate to that specific accounting or business year but rather for one that is still to come. the income account will then be credited to the income received in advance account and the income received in advance will be debited to the income account such as rent. When the time period for which the money was received comes, then a reversal takes place which is the same only differing by now debiting the income account to income received in advance account and vice versa.
What is the journal entry of rent received in advance?
Debit Cash for the cash received, and credit a liability account you can call Prepaid Rent or Prepaid Deposits. Basically, you credit a liability account because you "owe" them the rent for the month they have paid for in advance. Once the month has passed, you can debit the Prepaid Rent and credit Rental Income. Or, if the prepaid rent is a deposit made, you just keep it on your books as a liability until the end of their lease, at which time they will either be refunded the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Cash) or if they don't pay their last month's rent you can use the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Rental Income).

Is Rent payable is recorded in accounting year?
First let me say there is no account referred to as "Rent Payable". Rent is an operating expense for a business, you have two main accounts that deal with rent. 1 is Prepaid Rent, the other is Rent Expense. Prepaid Rent is used if the company pays their rent in advance. Prepaid Rent is an Asset. For example a company pays 6 months rent in advance, the journal entry isPrepaid Rent (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$Each month as the rent is "used up" an adjusting entry must be made. Since the cash has already been paid the entries move the amount needed of that month from one account to another. In this case we want to move it from the asset account Prepaid Rent to the Expense account Rent Expense the entry is;Rent Expense (debit) $$$Prepaid Rent (credit) $$$As you notice since prepaid rent is an asset account it has a debit balance, therefore to "remove" the amount of rent used we must credit that amount.If the company pays their rent monthly on a cash basis the journal entry is simple and straight forward.Rent Expense (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$You will not see an account called "Rent Payable" as a payable account is a liability account and expense are not classified as a liability but an operating expense.

Is rent collected in advance a temporary account?
The account that you would put this rent collection in is generaly called "Un-Earned Rent Revenue". At the end of the period, you have to close these accounts. So yes, it is a temporary account.A quick explanation why:- There are two main types of accounting:1. Accrual - expenses and revnues are recongisd when they ACTUALLY happen.2. Cash based - expenses and revenues are recognised when they are PAID.- Because of this there are "timing differences" which may occur, which can be classified as:1. Acrued revenue - rev. recognised BEFORE cash is received.2. Accrued expense - exp. recognised BEEFORE cash is paid.3. Deferred revenue - rev. recognised AFTER cash is received.4. Deferred expense - exp. recognised AFTER cash is paid.-In the case of our rent collected in advance, this is where you have collected the money for a service before you have given it. This unnearned revenue is a DEFERRED REVENUE which is a LIABILITY account.If you want more info - have a look at accountinginfo.com/study/accrual-101.htm
